Description of problem:

The operator fails to override the component image provided as an env variable in the subscription. Example:

 spec:
  channel: pipelines-5.0
  config:
    env:
    - name: AUTOINSTALL_COMPONENTS
      value: "false"
    - name: IMAGE_PIPELINES_CONTROLLER
      value: quay.io/openshift-pipeline/pipelines-resolvers-rhel9@sha256:2f8c76a2f2fb8ecd55e41aade368b266a071945a0860e4cc577db9226c40069a

This updates the operator deployment (the variable appears there), but the actual image override never happens.
